Here in the civilised world we bury the wires ;-)

Even the long-haul 765kv and up connections across the power grid?

In the US, they're out on towers for a reason - you can fly along them
in a helicopter and easily spot parts of cable that are degrading and need
repair because they glow brighter on an infrared scope...

(Plus, as Hurricane Sandy taught Manhattan, buried wires have their
own rather nasty failure modes....)
